Mrs. Jeffries and the Missing Alibi by Emily Brightwell

INSPECTOR WITHERSPOON...THE MURDERER?

It was one of the most brazen murders anyone could remember. The killer walked right into Peter Hornsley's office, hit him with a policeman's truncheon, and strangled him. He even told the night watchman his name--Inspector Witherspoon. Scotland Yard has doubts about the inspector's alibi, and as the main suspect, they refuse to let him investigate. But, no one said anything about Mrs. Jeffries..

No matter how messy the murder or how dirty the deed, Mrs. Jeffries's polished detection skills are up to the task...proving that behind every great man there's a woman--and that a crime-solver's work is never done..
